O objetivo do estudo foi verificar se os fatores ‘idade’, ‘anos de atividade como atleta profissional’, ‘número de lesões no último ano’, ‘percepção de que treina de mais’, ‘vontade de treinar menos e a escolaridade’, são capazes de prever de forma significativa os escores das dimensões do “Inventário de Sinais e Sintomas do Burnout em Atletas” (ISSBA-24). A amostra foi composta de 130 atletas brasileiros profissionais de futsal, do sexo masculino, com idades entre 18 a 36 anos, os quais responderam ao “Inventário de Sinais e Sintomas do Burnout em Atletas” (ISSBA-24). Os resultados das regressões lineares indicam que dos seis fatores preditores do Burnout, quatro (‘idade’, ‘anos de atividade como atleta profissional’, ‘número de lesões no último ano’ e a ‘vontade de treinar menos’) contribuem significativamente (p<0,05) para explicar os sinais e sintomas do Burnout em atletas brasileiros profissionais de futsal.

To analyze the possibly influencing factors of the beliefs and attitudes towards childhood epilepsy among users of the Family Health Strategy. Methods: The participants were 300 users from three units of the Family Health Strategy in one city of northeastern Brazil. This primary health care service has a multidisciplinary team and operates close to the community, seeks to provide comprehensive care with actions to promote health, prevention, recovery, rehabilitation of diseases and frequent injuries in the community. Data were collected through a socioeconomic questionnaire and the Brazilian version of The Epilepsy Beliefs and Attitudes Scale -Adult Version, analyzed using descriptive statistics and structural equation analysis. Results: Various associations were significant (p < 0.05), religion positively influences beliefs and attitudes (β: 1.040; p: 0.044); an increase in educational level negatively influences beliefs and attitudes (β: − 0.723; p: 0.040); being the parent of a child negatively influences beliefs and attitudes (β: 1.120; p: 0.043), but also positively influences beliefs (β: − 0.244; p: 0.028). Conclusion:This research contributed to identifying that having a religion, an increased educational level and being the parent of a child were factors that influence the beliefs and attitudes towards childhood epilepsy, aiming to contribute to a better implementation of actions directed to education in epilepsy.

Paralympic athletes face stressful situations in sports competitions daily, and assessing how they cope with these situations is important. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Coping Inventory for Brazilian Paralympic Athletes in Competition Situations. This study included 531 Brazilian Paralympic athletes aged 18 years or older, of both sexes, living in different Brazilian regions. They competed nationally or internationally and had physical or visual disabilities. Athletes with cerebral palsy were excluded. The participants answered a data questionnaire and the coping inventory. A confirmatory factor analysis confirmed a 12-theoretical dimension structure: six adaptive (Self-Reliance, Support-Seeking, Problem-Solving, Information-Seeking, Accommodation, Negotiation) and six maladaptive dimensions (Delegation, Social Isolation, Helplessness, Escape, Submission, and Opposition). Reliability indexes ranged between 0.60 and 0.94. The conclusion is that the instrument is reliable for assessing coping strategies among Brazilian Paralympic athletes.
